children

,

then

will

both

wicked

men

be

at

peace

with

you

,

and

the

profligate

will

reverence

you

and

turn

unto

good

;

and

the

covetous

shall

not

only

cease

from

their

inordinate

desire

,

but

shall

even

give

the

fruits

of

their

covetousness

to

them

that

are

afflicted

.

If

ye

do

well

,

even

the

unclean

spirits

shall

flee

from

you

;

yea

,

the

very

beasts

shall

flee

from

you

in

dread

.

For

where

the

reverence

for

good

works

is

present

unto

the

mind

,

darkness

fleeth

away

from

him

.

For

if

any

one

is

injurious

to

a

holy

man

,

he

repenteth

;

for

the

holy

man

showeth

pity

on

his

reviler

,

and

holdeth

his

peace

.

And

if

any

one

betray

a

righteous

soul

,

and

the

righteous

man

,

though

praying

,

be

humbled

for

a

little

while

,

yet

not

long

after

he

appeareth

far

more

glorious

,

even

as

was

Joseph

my

brother

.
